Nice!

Because there are many types of conversions it would be nice if the 
changelog included a declaration of some sorts about what this means 
precisely: 'the two implementations were 100% identical', or 'the x86 
one was buggy and we now switch to the correct generic one', or 'the 
only difference between the two is X, Y and Z, which is not a 
problem'?

Thanks,
